I'd think so. It's more stable in cruise than a 172, which some claim is okay as an IFR platform. Others would prefer a 182 as a minimum, or a PA-28-151 at least. It normally lacks what is *the* most significant safety equipment for an IFR plane, that is, an autopilot. So do most 172s. One of our number does, however, have a wing-leveler in his 'Coupe. Again, I prefer to keep my Ercoupe as simple as possible. When the time comes for IFR, I'll happily take what it would cost to install gyros and all the IFR radios and apply it towards renting something more suitable.
